2004 BMW 318 Compact - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Bmw 318 was driving ok then suddenly could,nt get any gears
You did not mention whether your car was a stick or an automatic.
I guess it may be a stick.
If so, likely your slave cylinder, or maybe your clutch master cylinder failed.
Under the hood of your car, in front of the driver's seat, are 2 master cylinders mounted on the firewall.
The larger one is for your brakes, the smaller one is for your clutch. Open the hood and look, the smaller one mat be out of brake fluid, which means the car will not shift, because the clutch is not being activated.
You will need to either change the transmission-mounted cylinder ( the slave cylinder), the firewall mounted cylinder ( the master cylinder), or both of them.
God bless your efforts.

BMW 318 dash light not coming on
If the dashboard lights on your BMW 318 are not coming on, there could be a few potential causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the fuses: Locate the fuse box in your BMW 318 and check the fuse that corresponds to the dashboard lights. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one.
- Check the dimmer switch: The dimmer switch controls the brightness of the dashboard lights. If the switch is turned all the way down, the lights may not be visible. Make sure the switch is turned all the way up.
- Check the battery: If the battery is weak, it may not be providing enough power to the dashboard lights. Try jump-starting the car or charging the battery to see if this resolves the issue.
- Check the wiring: If the wiring that connects the dashboard lights to the battery is damaged or loose, the lights may not come on. Check the wiring and make any necessary repairs.
- Consult a mechanic: If none of these steps solve the issue, it may be a more complicated electrical problem that requires the expertise of a mechanic. A professional mechanic can diagnose and repair the issue to get your dashboard lights working properly again.
I have a bmw 3
Do you still have the owner's manual. And why didn't you just take a picture and post that
I have a bmw 316ti
with any BMW they have their problems, one is the central locking/immobilizer, the central locking is linked into the immobilizer and vice versa, the immobilizer takes it signal to disarm from the central locking and the ignition key ring. (chip in the key) if one of these starts to play up it has loads of consequences this being one of them. they all need to work together for the system to work properly. you would need to read the alarm and immobiliser codes using an ob2 tool that can detect them, and find the fault some problems it can be the drivers door sensor in the lock this is the main door as its drivers side and it controls all other doors on the central locking. if the switch is worn in any of it movements the system will not know the door has been opened, this does not work on the interior light as that is a switch in the door frame. the door lock is lock unlock and deadlock with key with remote fob its also arm disarm alarm and immobiliser. i have seen in some models there is a sensor auto lock so when you walk away with the key the doors lock automatically all lease parts work together. any one having a problem can cause no signal to be sent to the others in the system to start engine .
How to open hood BMW 328i 1997 cable snapped
Maybe you could check with three panel beaters on if the hood can be bent back or maybe they can spot weld onto the hood and pull it out. Like get three quotes and if you are paying for it like not insurance job or not let the panel beaters know when asking for a quote..
